[And really-- there's a certain level of intimacy in being at ease enough with sharing the fact that he's emotional right now, too. He's flustered, but willing to share that when Diluc opens the line.
There were so few people Chuuya could be like that with.] Heh, we're quite a crew aren't we?
[That chuckle is met with a soft one from Chuuya, a smile on his lips.]
And I love being around you guys.
[It probably hasn't escaped Diluc's notice, really: That Chuuya now is so starkly different from the Chuuya he'd first met. There were far less instances of drinking to excess, his mood had improved by leaps and bounds.
[Quite a crew. Who would have thought it? Diluc would have never expected them to get this close, never mind that Kaeya would also grow fond of the man to such an extent that he was almost an extension of their relationship with each other.
He could barely imagine his life without the other redhead now. How strange to think that something like that could happen so quickly, and yet he finds himself immeasurably grateful for it.]
You seem happier than when we first met. Like you've found somewhere that you belong. I can't help but be glad that that place is with me.

It was their doing. They'd given him a home.]
